Dyoscorea-10Dyoscorea-10

Composition:

Each Dyoscorea-10 Tablet contains Dydrogesterone 10 mg, a synthetic progestogen with properties similar to natural progesterone.

Indications & Uses:

Dyoscorea-10 (Dydrogesterone 10mg) is commonly prescribed for various gynecological and hormonal disorders, including:

  • Menstrual Disorders: Used to treat irregular periods, painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea), and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
  • Hormonal Imbalance: Supports hormonal balance in women experiencing progesterone deficiency.
  • Infertility Treatment: Often prescribed to aid in luteal phase support during assisted reproductive techniques (ART) like IVF.
  • Threatened & Recurrent Miscarriage: Helps in cases where progesterone deficiency leads to pregnancy complications.
  • Endometriosis: Reduces pain and inflammation associated with endometriosis by regulating progesterone levels.
  • Secondary Amenorrhea: Helps restore normal menstrual cycles in women with absent periods due to hormonal imbalance.

Dosage & Administration:

  • The dosage varies based on the condition being treated.
  • Typically, one tablet (10 mg) once or twice daily, as prescribed by a doctor.
  • It is usually taken orally with water, with or without food.

Mechanism of Action:

Dydrogesterone acts as a selective progestogen, binding to progesterone receptors and mimicking the natural hormone’s effects. Unlike other synthetic progestins, it does not suppress ovulation, making it suitable for fertility treatments.

Advantages Over Other Progestogens:

  • Does not inhibit ovulation (unlike some other synthetic progestins).
  • Fewer androgenic side effects (e.g., no weight gain or acne).
  • No estrogenic effects, making it safer for long-term use.

Warning & Contraindications:

  • Not recommended in patients with severe liver disease.
  • Should be used with caution in individuals with a history of thromboembolic disorders.
  • Always consult a doctor before use during pregnancy or lactation.
